After 31 years at SJSU, I'm retiring.
I have to admit, I'm pretty proud of myself. I worked hard and I think I've helped a lot of students successfully navigate SJSU.
But you know who I'm more proud of, though?
The millions of people who walk miles every day just to get water to drink. The children who skip primary school to lug 40-pound Jerry Cans on their backs. The family members who try to nurse their brothers and sisters back to health after a waterborne illness has infected them.
Just imagine what your day would be like if you couldn't turn on a tap and trust the water running from it.
I've worked pretty hard, yes - but it pales in comparison to what millions of people do just to stay alive.
I want to help them. My mission is to raise $500 in the next three months. I'm asking that anyone that would've given toward a gift for my retirement instead recognize the struggle of those with no clean water to drink by donating to clean water projects. Every penny you give will go straight to building wells in developing nations.
Let's get those kids out from under the 40 pound Jerry Cans and back into school.
Thanks!
Congratulations on your retirement, we'll miss you.
